Memory – an Adobe AIR application

For some time, I’ve wanted to play around with Adobe AIR and see what it’s like. I’m also a sucker for very simple, yet addictive, games, so now was the time!

Actually, this all happened because of two reasons:

I was playing regular Memory with my oldest daughter, and being a lazy bastard, I found it to be hard work to turn back the cards when I/she was wrong, and to get them in a good random order for each play.

I wanted to learn how to develop with Adobe AIR, and see what I could do with it.

The result of this is the Adobe AIR Memory game! I had quite a good time developing this, and adding things like a timer, keyboard support for choosing a card and different games (i.e. different card themes: Travel and Barbapapa so far) didn’t make things less fun!

Interesting app. Just a slight tip that you can disable cursor selection with <code>-webkit-user-select: ignore;</code> so that the app feels more like an app. It'll be even better if boss mode hides the app to the system tray. 🙂
